10 Principles for Good Listening
Stop talking. This is the first thing to good listening..
Put the talker (person you are listening to) at ease.
Empathize with him. Try to put yourself in his place.
Be patient. Give him plenty of time. Do not interrupt him.
Remove distractions. Don’t doodle, tap or shuffle papers.
Show him that you want to listen. Look and act interested.
Hold your temper. An angry person gets the wrong meaning from words.
Ask questions. This shows your interest and helps to develop points further.
Go easy on argument and criticism. Do Not Argue. This puts him on the defensive.
Stop talking. This is the first and the last rule because all other principles depend on it.
Drop a word of cheer and kindness,
Just a flash and it is gone;
But there’s half a hundred ripples,
circling on and on and on.
There is no sense in advertising your troubles.
There’s no market for them.

A Time of Change for You and Planet Earth
The time is now – over these next three months – to change.
An earthquake is coming in you. Know yourself. Change yourself.
To all who love the earth plane and who have opened themselves to receive a gift of the universe, this is the time for your souls to expand and awaken to full awareness , climbing the great ladder of the universe.
It is time to learn. Yes, it is time to be still and listen to your soul communications with Creator and all in the movements of the universes.
Soon mankind will awaken to the great wonders beyond mother earth. Help your soul to be free of entrapments and to receive the new way to come from this great awakening for all. Yes, even for all of nature. May 1, 2012 through June, 2012 will open the path of truth.
Know yourself and your attachments. Awaken to Creator. Your planet will make adjustments now. Earthquake activity will occur, as will major problems with electronics, computers, etc. Be ready, especially from Vancouver, Canada to Eugene, Oregon to Amarillo, Texas to California and Mexico. Your souls will speak. Be still.
Change within you is needed. Have no guilt, but rather wisdom to now change for the sake of all, including your living planet.

Thanks for the post. It's timing is an increilble message to me...
I am not a good listener because, aside from my family, I hardly talk to any one. I love the kitten picture.
As always thanks, I definitely needed that.
I so wish others would understand them.
I stop and listen and get told I have my head up my *ss..... Great thoughts Jack and I respect you sharing them.
